Maybe I'm alone, but I always enjoy reading about the big summer concerts that will be touring around the country each year.

I heard a couple of good ones yesterday on XM.

Twisted Sister is going to be touring this summer to promote the 25th Anniversary of "Stay Hungry", lol.

As they do every year, Def Leppard is going out again, and this time they are bringing along both Poison and Cheap Trick.

Those dudes from Cheap Trick must almost be in their 70's by now.

Anyways, if any of you hear about any interesting/funny summer concert tours, feel free to post them here.

Jimmy Buffett: DTE Thursday, August 13, 2009. I got 6 tix.

You do that every year, don't you?

Must be a pot smoking thing, that dude's music and image make me want to stab myself with a fork in the eye.

FINS TO THE LEFT!

Yeah, not a big buffet fan either.

It's a drunk thing. The parking lot is a boozefest, people with "wheels of drunk" and 5 gallons of margaritas in a weed sprayer, then you get to sing songs you can remember a couple lines and little dances to with a group of folks who are entirely accepting of the state you're in. I really wouldn't care if Buffett was there, play his music on a boom box just let me be belligerent in public. (and of course I smoke weed)

Here's some more "good" ones.


Nine Inch Nails/Jane’s Addiction
New Kids on the Block (wsg JabbaWockeez) !!!!!!
Mötley Crüe’s “Crüe Fest 2”
Eddie Money (wsg Jesse Money)
YES/Asia
“Regeneration Tour” with ABC, Wang Chung, Heaven 17 and Cutting Crew
Bad Company/Doobie Brothers
The Music of Led Zeppelin: A Rock Symphony (classic rock/tribute show)
REO Speedwagon / Styx (wsg .38 Special)
Judas Priest wsg Whitesnake and Pop Evil
Gordon Lightfoot
Jonas Brothers wsg Jordin Sparks and Honor Society (for MoTown)
Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Killswitch Engage and Mushroomhead (for LDB)
The Wiggles (for me)
AC/DC
Creed
Tesla
Aerosmith wsg ZZ Top (also for LDB)

Are these booked at the open air place...forgot the name?

Pine Knob???

Jonas Brothers wsg Jordin Sparks and Honor Society (for MoTown)


Is that a porn star?

Gordon Lightfoot (for Big Swami)

fxd

I'd pay to see Gord.

I saw Tom Jones in Vegas because "I just had to."

This would be similar.

Bob Dylan recently said that Gord was one of his favorite songwriters. Called him "Gord" too.

Honestly, I'd rather hear Lonesome Highway than most of Dylan's songs. Come on - "Morning after blues from my head down to my shoes" - how perfect is that?

I saw a guy last weekend with an Edmund Fitzgerald Facts t-shirt. I offered him $30 on the spot for it, but no go.

I really like Sundown (of course) and Early Morning Rain (although I admit I like Elvis' version better).

Elvis also did a great job on Gord's "For Lovin' Me".

Peep this, Swam:

I will be seeing Judas Priest July 15th.

My buddy went and saw Great White in Atlanta last week. No fireworks injuries were reported.

I will NOT be there to see Whitesnake, I assure you!!

maybe just a little

Can we at least break up Nickelback to make it fair?

^ What a classic, ha!

Mark Lanegan in a couple weeks. Might be my one and only opportunity to find true love.


...I'll probably just stay home and sleep.

-Mudhoney 8/30 (Friday!) at Magic Stick
-Dylan 7/14 at DTE
-AiC 8/24 also at DTE

Plan on attending all three.

Need to hit up @ginblossoms and see if/when they're coming back.

Maybe I'll hit up the SPIN DOCTORS too.

Who the hell is singing for AiC?

The guy from Extreme.

Who the hell is singing for AiC?

William Duvall, aka Lenny Kravitz.

Hoping for hologram Layne Staley. Would be so cool, you guys.

FOR GLAN:

Cake, 6/29

The guy from Extreme.

Are they still together??

Isn't Gary Cherone one of those radcial pro-lifers?

FOR GLAN:

Cake, 6/29

Cool. I'll check for a WESTSIDE show.

WESTSIDE IS THE BESTSIDE

Sabbath, day after my b-day at DTE. asjjasggkgs

I know what I'm getting myself, you guys. Ha!

I'm not talking about a fleshlight either!!

ZZ Top, Uncle Kracker and Kid Rock are 350 bones for good seats. Fuck that on so many levels.

Queensryche on 8/23 sounds interesting, but couple things:
1) Hasn't Geoff been out of the band or something?
2) Slaughter and Vince Neil will also be there. LOL

Also, Incantation and Melvins on back-to-back days in July. Sweet Jebus!

There are two Queensryches now? Ha.

Crazy lineup....every time I look I see a different band i want to see....

Zekyl!! Fall Out Boy!!

I was talking with a "friend" of mine last night about going to a show in a couple weeks that she might also be attending. She was like, "I promise I won't bother or stand by you. I'll just say hi and leave you alone." lollers

Don't like Motley Crue at all, but might get dragged to see them in Aug. #smh

Getting douche chills just thinking about it.

Wouldn't mind if August was here now though. Ha!

They're touring with Alice Cooper, right? If so, that should be good.

Supposedly their farewell tour.

I'd go see the Crue if it weren't too expensive.

Always thought of you as a Stryper kinda guy, Vin.

Never could get into them.

No summer tours you guys. This snow is not going to melt.

Hootie and the Blowfish are back. Try your best to contain your excitement.

Seeing Psychedelic Furs and The Church in Royal Joke in August. Me and the other 8 people in attendance are going to have a blast.

Where do we go now?

I'll totally go to that.

Really thinkin' about seeing Iggy Pop next week, you guys. Before he croaks.

Roky Erickson October 28th at El Club. Lookin' forward to it, you guys.

GLAN!

Hold on to the memories.

(also, not at a casino?)

So pumped. Denny would be, too. (RIP)

I saw Neil Diamond at the Palace night. Dude is still a showstopper at 76.

Bet that was a good show.

Have any popcorn?

Funny you mention the popcorn, they were filled in the "Pistons" tubs. I'm going to miss the Palace, it's so well run and clean.

Neil played about 30 songs without an intermission and no opening act... which generally are garbage. Very good show.

I'm thinking about seeing Bob Seger at the Palace in September. I saw him back in 2006 at the Palace and it was fun.

I'm curious about the Eagles with Glenn Frey's son and Vince Gill -- could be a shitshow, could be awesome:

I went to DTE last night and saw Third Eye Blind. It was the 20th anniversary of their first album so they played the whole album. Pretty fun.

Don't be hating since you don't live a semi-charmed life.

I had to google them to see which ones they were.

Glan is just getting BEAT DOWN like crazy lately.

You took it one step further than I did I see

I saw Tom Petty last night at DTE, he still has it. Missed the opener Peter Wolf though.

Ever check out the Tom Petty channel on SiriusXM??
I think he wants to be a DJ when he never grows up. :)

Yeah its on my favorites list in my car. He did have the song "The Last Dj" that for some reason he's never played at a concert. He performed on David Letterman.

Anyone think the Roger Waters concert will be any good, he's coming to the Palace in a couple weeks.

re: Roger Waters, if you are still riding that Trump Train you may want to think twice

re: Roger Waters, if you are still riding that Trump Train you may want to think twice

Sad, failing Roger Waters wishes he could be half the man the tremendous, highly talented David Gilmour is. So jealous!

Glad I went to the concert this summer. 10 weeks later and he's dead. Unbelievable.

MikeMyers = The Black Widow.

MikeMyers, so how were those Prince and Bowie concerts?
Are you seeing Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber soon?

That's nothing, I hung out (maybe a poor choice of words...) with Robin Williams in a dream 2 or 3 days before he killed himself.

Was he a genie and was Princess Jasmine involved? I hear she's married to George Clooney now...
